Friday Finish!


This week I wanted to make another fall piece and I got the idea of using my star pattern from Buttermilk Basin with another of her appliqués from another pattern. I reduced the size of the pattern to fit the star. The fabric for the star was some old cotton that I over dyed with grungy browns but it doesn't show up too well in the photo.

It is a fun piece to make and you can see more of Stacy's designs at Buttermilk Basin, she has patterns with Christmas and fall, as well as, wool appliqué and stitchery types on stars. She also has a new free pattern on her Blog.

The American Made Contest is still running and I would love to see Stacy raise her votes. I hope everyone has a nice weekend. Bill has the long weekend off, so we will be doing some exploring, so we shall see where we end up;)

This was a fun piece to make, and great for a shelf sitter. The star looks light but it is actually a grungy brown.

So cute I love it. I hope to pull out some of my fall today but I have lots of gardens to cut back. There is now on Mt Washington last night they said 5 hours of snow with flurries all day. now would be the day to go on the cog to see the foliage in the snow.

This stitched up beautifully, Debbie! Great idea to use another applique to her star pattern! Happy Autumn!

A nice Fall piece to display. Is the star fabric wool?

Your star applique looks great in the display. Funny how the flash or natural like in a photo changes the color. I can never get an accurate depiction of my wool or the rug when taking a picture
